Did Nixon ACTUALLY request the Big Dog to deliver RN's eulogy or what?
Since that damned Sludge hit the fan last Monday, I'm fighting the freeper assholes over at another board and I've been looking all over Google for partisan quid-pro-quo's at any presidential funerals. However, I did uncover Clinton's eulogy to Nixon at this link:

The problem is one freeper is so intellectually strong enough that I am going to need extra-strength ammo to take him down....

2. Custom
I believe the sitting president at time of death delivers a eulogy.

3. Sitting President
My guess is that it is considered standard protocal for a sitting president to eulogize a deceased former president.

7. That was what I was thinking,
but since the protocol for each Presidental funeral is up to each president, I would really need to make sure that it is tradition and who started the tradition.

and I know intellectually-strong freeper is an oxymoron but despite my research, googling, etc to answer the freeper, I keep on getting my ass handed to me...ugh.

9. I'm Googling now
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&q=presidential+funerals+eulogy

So far, I found out that Nixon delivered the eulogy at Ike's funeral (he was president at the time).

More to come.

5. Stop wasting your time
You can't take a freeper down, because they'll never hear or understand any facts you throw a them.

Best thing to do is get a can of bullshit repellant and spray them anytime they come near you.

8. Easy fix
Ask him which is more important to him, making more money, or seeing that the poor don't get your money? Wait patiently for his head to explode.

12. Intellectually strong???
That's just not possible. The fact that this guy's a freeper sends all intellectual honesty out the window.
